Acute pancreatitis in aging animals: Loss of pancreatitis-associated protein protection?

Figure 4 Effect of age on serum C-reactive protein level 24 h after induction of sodium taurocholate pancreatitis. Data for young vs old animals were not significantly different and are shown in the text and Table 1. However, when animals were sorted into young, and subgroups of aged (subgroup a), very aged (subgroup b) and most aged (subgroup c), a significant increase in C-reactive protein was seen in the most aged group (subgroup c).
